The painters your neighbors keep passing on.
Mario's Painting NC is a small, family-owned company that started right here in Clayton and has grown into one of the most recommended local painters in Johnston and Wake Counties. Founded by Mario — a skilled tradesman with years of experience inside and out — the crew treats every home like it's their own.
Homeowners tell the same story again and again: fair, honest pricing, a crew that shows up on time and cleans up each day, and prep done right — sanding, patching, caulking and priming before a drop of paint goes on. Every job is fully insured, and we paint with low-VOC products that are safe for your family and pets.
What we do
Inside, outside, and everything in between.
01
Interior Painting
Walls, ceilings, trim and doors — prepped, protected and finished in low-VOC paints that are safe for family and pets.
02
Exterior Painting
Full siding repaints, trim, shutters and doors in durable, weather-resistant products built for Carolina summers.
03
Cabinet Painting & Refinishing
Tired or dated cabinets refinished — not replaced — in a hard, factory-like finish that resists chips and stains.
04
Deck & Porch Staining
Decks, porches and fences cleaned, sanded and sealed with premium stains that soak in and stand up to the weather.
05
Full House Painting
One crew coordinating interior, exterior, cabinets, decks and minor repairs — a cohesive, updated look, no juggling contractors.
06
Light Carpentry & Drywall Repair
Fascia, trim, siding touch-ups and drywall patching handled before we paint — so the finish lasts.

How we work
From free estimate to final walkthrough.

02
We prep it properly
Prep is where a paint job is won or lost. We protect your floors and furniture, sand, patch drywall, caulk and prime where it's needed, and fix wood before we paint it — so the finish lasts, not just looks good on day one.
03
Painted, cleaned, walked with you
We use low-VOC, high-quality paints, keep a tidy site and clean up each day, then walk the whole job with you before we call it done. If something isn't right, we make it right.

We paint homes throughout Clayton, Garner, Apex, Cary, Smithfield, Fuquay-Varina, Raleigh and the surrounding areas. Not sure if you're in our area? Just ask.
